Training

GERATEC’S person-centred approach extends beyond the residents to include the staff. We believe passionately in training and developing the people who help us deliver our services. Our aim is to maximise performance and through development, yield tangible, measurable results to improve the lives of the employee and the people with whom they interact.

We develop skills and talents from within our partner organisations, drawing on existing experience.

Our flexible training methods allow us to address the specific needs within individual homes, providing skills training that can be conducted on-site or off-site and tailored to your individual requirements.

GERATEC TRAINING offers:

training and inductions covering all aspects of care;

companion-carer skills training and development;

practical and theoretical training for all levels of experience;

personnel management and policy guidance;

performance management and workforce planning;

uplifting life skills and wellness programmes for staff;

mentorship and coaching programmes; and

employment equity consulting.

We truly respect and appreciate all our staff. An example of this is GERATEC’S life-skills training that we provide to all our staff. By showing them how to make their jobs more rewarding and how to improve their lives outside of work, we empower them to make good choices and develop their professional attitude.
